HEDNESFORD Town will continue their pursuit for league and county cups glory without skipper Chad Sheppard after he left the club and joined Chasetown.

The midfielder has played a key part in helping the Pitmen challenge for the UniBond Premier title and reach two county cup quarter-finals. But he was dropped to the bench in last week’s win at Leigh Genesis and told manager Dean Edwards he had to review his options.

The Pitmen travel to Kendal Town tomorrow.

Rushall Olympic have to omit Ian Cooper and Dave Haywood as they test their Division One South promotion credentials at Stocksbridge PS. Both players serve one-match bans.

Willenhall Town have to rule out Rory May (hamstring) and Rory Curtis (knee ligaments) for their rearranged trip to Quorn.
